Boy did I miss a bunch! Yeesh!
My scan today has confirmed I have had a miscarriage, and the doctor said that everything has made its way out naturally, and my uterus is back to normal.
I'm sad but at least everything left my body as it was supposed to. The doctor said we can ttc straight away, so that's what we plan to do. OH and I haven't been intimate since I got pregnant (which is the longest ever for us) as I was worried about causing any spotting during the early part of the pregnancy. But obviously the abstinence didn't make a difference! I am counting the heavy bleeding as day 1 of my cycle but will use opks once a day as well - I heard things aren't normal cycle wise after a miscarriage.
I'm looking forward to the future and feeling positive about trying again. Here are some potential due dates (although these are very rough estimates as this cycle may be longer than normal!)
5th July
6th August
7th September
How are you Brenn? Hope my buddy is doing okay!
I love those due dates! I read an article in Glamour magazine saying the November is the month in which the most couples conceive- just to give you a little more hope! The month with the highest birth rate is August! I think you'll be getting that positive really soon!!
I'm really happy all left your body as it should, and I am so happy you're cleared to ttc again!
I just got a positive ovulation test!? Do you think that it's possible so soon after the miscarriage? (It's been 9 days since the heavy bleeding) Or do you think it might be picking up left over hormones from when I was pregnant? It's definitely darker than yesterdays opk, but the urine concentrations might be different I guess.
We'll BD the next couple of days just in case it is ovulation!
Just did a bit of research and apparently you can get false positive ovulation tests shortly after a miscarriage. So I'm guessing it might be a false positive, but we'll BD anyway!
I know that the cycle after your miscarriage can be crazy and different, so since you usually ovulate late, maybe your body is just doing the opposite? I would BD just in case, too! It might well be ovulation, even if others get false positives. My best friend miscarried and ovulated/got pregnant less than two weeks later- her little girl will be 2 in December! It can definitely happen and I know I've read you're more fertile after a miscarriage! I have all my fingers and toes crossed, and sending out those positive thoughts to your uterus
Thanks Brenn! That's a great story about your friend! Definitely gives me hope. I had a negative opk on Friday, positive on Saturday, and negative on Sunday! So I'm guessing I may have ovulated around then. OH and I BD'd Friday and Saturday (but he was too tired on Sunday) but I'm hoping that was enough to catch eggy if there was one. We'll continue to BD every other day just in case.
I'll hold off testing with opks now, and if I get fertile cm then I'll test again. If I did ovulate on Sunday then I can test on October 20th - although I may test on OH's birthday on the 18th if I get symptoms I may be pregnant (I know what symptoms to look out for now!). Trying not to get my hopes up though because I heard some ladies don't even ovulate the first cycle after a miscarriage.
